Paraplegic Man Walks Again Thanks to Groundbreaking Medical Technology
A medical miracle in Milan: A paraplegic man walks again thanks to groundbreaking neurostimulator technology. A 33-year-old man, paralyzed from the waist down after a workplace accident, has regained the ability to walk thanks to a revolutionary neurostimulator implanted at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, Italy. This is the first time someone with such a severe spinal cord injury has achieved this level of recovery using electrical stimulation. Six months after the procedure, the patient can now walk up to one kilometer with the assistance of a walker. "It's the most incredible achievement we've ever seen," said a member of the medical team. This breakthrough offers new hope for millions of people living with paralysis.
